6 User Configuration Mode
Configuration Mode is intended for use by installers to configure the operation for their
application and for field technicians who need to perform diagnostics on the unit. It will allow
users to set and/or query configuration parameters, including but not limited to the following:
Baud rate of the main serial communications interface
Data rate of the system transmissions during Normal Mode
Data output request, source – data transmission relative to an internal clock or external
synchronization signal
Data message format – selects from Normal Mode output data formats
Linear output format – acceleration or delta velocity
Rotational output format – angular rate of rotation or delta [incremental] angle
Axis orientation – adjusts reference frames relative to the default axes or directions (+/-)
Output data filters – adjusts accelerometer and gyro filters independently
Units – select degrees vs. radians or Celsius vs. Fahrenheit
Temperature data resolution – degrees or 100ths of degrees
Extended BIT test
Bit log – accesses logged BIT history from startup and extended BIT records
Serial numbers and software revision information
In Configuration Mode, the unit does not output data unless prompted by the user and it
communicates in ASCII encoded text for use with standard terminal emulation programs. The
summary list of commands is shown in Table 7-1.
